If someone bids to offer more money than china, then they'll hold it elsewhere. Otherwise, why would you give it to somewhere offering less money? That wouldn't make sense.

Anyway at least there is a good crowd, unlike at some other Super Series tournament held earlier this year... Can't even give seats away...

LD rules, calm down lah. This scorpion dunno what happen previously, where no country want to host initially. Msia like forced to host 2 times, then they said no more, tak boleh. Main point is even if no country bid, BWF have to hold it somewhere & get the prize money ready.

Having said that, I was hoping this year more exciting performances from the younger players/pairs like Kim/Kim, Rat ,etc. They would want to prove themselves, but suddenly Kim/Kim retired from their matchn along with the Korea XD & WD pairs, hiyaaa.

Actually scorpion, 1st 2 years or so nobody bid or stuff like that, BWF asked Msia to host it as its HQ is in Msia. Prize money, if not mistaken from Yonex & others, BWF found the sponsors. It's hard, but yeah, it's BWF responsibility to find a way no matter what since they are organising it

yea, i remember that. back in 2007, SS Masters Finals had to be cancelled because BWF couldn't find sponsors. it was hugely embarrassing.

now they have good sponsors, prize money and lots of World Ranking points. But players don't want to play.
